Strip sets entail starting with a heavy weight,performing several reps, imediatly grabing a lighter weight, performing several reps ...etc. One usually does this for perhaps three strip or drop sets. For example in Pavels book it is recomended to perform snatches with -32kg,24kg,16kg (the minus sign(-) denotes a strip set). these sets are very demanding but highly productive.
